Dear Ms Patel

I am writing to enquire whether Opening Doors Marketing and PR have any vacancies for a junior marketing and public relations assistant.

I have just completed with distinction an Advanced GNVQ in Marketing, which included a three-month work experience unit in a local PR company, Fosters and Sims. I worked with the Brands team on a brief for re-branding a breakfast cereal where I contributed ideas and was able to hone my team playing skills. I also assisted the events director who was organising a launch for a new cosmetics company. Here I was given the opportunity of working independently writing copy for advertorials, organising speakers and liaising with catering companies. I found working in both areas of public relations immensely rewarding.

As you will notice from my enclosed CV, during college holidays I worked on a part-time basis for the director of a graphics design company where I learnt to use Photoshop and Dreamweaver. It was during my time at Creations that I discovered how much I enjoy combining the challenge of meeting a client's brief with the excitement of the creative process.

I am determined to pursue a career in marketing and PR and to use and develop my creative and interpersonal skills in a young, but growing company such as your own. I am available for interview at any time and contactable on either the home or mobile phone number above. I am able to start work immediately.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely

Jane Shawley
